I recently passed the 300 mark in reader comments, and that’s pretty exciting to me.<\/p>\n

After all, besides pageviews, there’s no other way to be sure people are ACTUALLY reading this feature\/blog than getting comments.<\/p>\n

It’s fun to hear from people too, whether or not people agree with me.<\/p>\n

Although I am ALWAYS right and everyone should ALWAYS agree with me……NOT!<\/p>\n

Jackie Evancho<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The two columns that recently drew readers attention for comments were on where I admitted that Jackie Evancho turns me into a blubbering fool.<\/p>\n

Thankfully most of you agreed with me about the former America’s Got Talent runner-up.<\/p>\n

“Agreed,Aug. Not only does Jackie account for a sudden rise in Kimberly-Clark stock prices, but she is also a more convincing proof of God\u2019s existence that all of the arguments of Aquinas. Personally, I lack the faith to believe that any child who can sing like this, with this much feeling and power, and affect so many people on such a deep level could just be a cosmic accident,” wrote Craig R.<\/p>\n

The other blog post that drew attention, thanks to an extra push from the fine folks at Beliefnet was a post about Best Buy mocking Santa in its harsh ads.<\/p>\n

Connie was especially tough on the electronics chain.<\/p>\n

“Horrible commercial. I am glad that Christmas is almost here so I won\u2019t have to see this mean sprited crap anymore. Shame on you Best Buy.”<\/p>\n

Good for you Connie, good for you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
